Solar Critter Guard

Stefan from Bridgewater, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2025 for this second phase, having had the first array installed two years earlier. Twelve more panels making 5.28 kW went on in November, with Enphase IQ8 microinverters and 148 feet of critter guard, adding an estimated 3,927 kilowatt hours a year to what the house already produced. JCP&L interconnected the addition in February. Coming back to expand an array is the clearest evidence a system has done what it promised – nobody adds to something that disappointed them – and the microinverter design is […]

Greg from Toms River, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2019. The array was completed in November: 39 panels making 13.65 kW into a SolarEdge HD Wave inverter with optimizers, 226 feet of critter guard around the perimeter, and an estimated 15,221 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected it in December. Seven years on, the critter guard is the part worth mentioning: the gap between panels and roof is where squirrels and birds nest, and the wiring damage they do is invisible from the ground until production quietly drops. The existing roof

Jacqueline from Nutley, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2023. The array was completed in September: 8.4 kW with an estimated 9,451 kilowatt hours in the first year. Nutley sits in Essex County, well inland, on the older and more densely built side of the state – the roofs are smaller and closer together than in Monmouth or Ocean, and the survey work is correspondingly more about shading from adjacent buildings and mature street trees than about finding enough south-facing slope. An array that fits those constraints is designed around them rather than in

Robert from Atlantic Highlands, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2022. The array was completed in January of 2023: 36 panels making 13.14 kW into a SolarEdge Energy Hub inverter with optimizers, 172 feet of critter guard around the perimeter, and an estimated 18,030 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected it at the end of the month. The Energy Hub is the inverter designed to take battery storage later without the electrical work being redone, which is worth having on a house this size – a thirteen-kilowatt array generates more than most

Dan from Manalapan, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2025. The array was completed in November: 36 panels making 15.48 kW, each with its own Enphase IQ8 microinverter carrying a 25-year warranty, and an estimated 16,602 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected the system in December. The critter guard runs 252 feet, the longest run on any array we have written up – it closes the gap between the panels and the roof along every exposed edge, which is where squirrels and birds get in and where the wiring they reach is
